Choosing colors that work together is like picking friends for a game, you want ones who get along well.
Imagine you have a box of crayons. You pick one color to be your main friend, like blue. Now, choose other colors that match with it, maybe yellow or green. These are like the friends who play nicely with blue. If you use red and purple with blue, they might not all get along, and your picture could look messy.
How to Make Color Friends
- Start with a main color.
- Add colors that are similar, like next-door neighbors in the crayon box.
